Planning a wedding doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. At Amani Affairs, we help you turn your ideas into a celebration that’s stylish, meaningful, and organized—without the stress or confusion.

We’re a boutique wedding planning and design company based in Wilmington, NC, serving couples across North Carolina and beyond. Whether you’re planning locally or from out of town, we’re here to make sure your wedding is beautifully executed and full of unforgettable moments—with support every step of the way.

Our services include full-service planning & design, partial planning & design, and wedding management. We don’t offer day-of coordination because we believe in doing things right—with time to plan, prepare, and make it all run smoothly. Our wedding management package starts 6–8 weeks before your big day so you’re never left scrambling or stressed at the last minute.

We work with busy, hardworking couples who want a partner they can trust—someone who’ll keep things on track, offer creative solutions, and help bring their vision to life while staying mindful of the budget. With Amani Affairs, you’ll get a calm, confident planner who knows the ins and outs of this process and genuinely cares about making your day special.

We take on one wedding per weekend, which means you’ll get our full attention from start to finish. From vendor coordination to timeline creation to personalized design guidance—we’re here to make sure nothing falls through the cracks.

If you're looking for a planner who gets it, keeps it real, and makes wedding planning feel way more doable, we’d love to meet you.

The Best in WIlmington, the Best Anywhere!

Amani Affairs planned the most unforgettable wedding weekend for us. We wanted to make sure our day was special for us, and our loved ones. They took care of ALL details and reassured us every step of the way, even when we had last minute emergencies with vendors. They made sure everything was taken care of, and all we had to do was sit back, and enjoy our weekend with our friends, and family. Please do yourself a favor, and hire them! You will not regret it!!

Best wedding planner ever

I always knew I wanted a wedding planner and when I got engaged 2 months after starting a new job and juggling moving in with my fiance, I knew I needed some professional help! From the moment that I spoke with Jihan on our initial phone call (which she set up to get ~vibes~) I knew she was the one for me!!! I quote "you should hire me because I will reassure your mom that yes, there is enough food!". She is so professional, creative, prompt, and just a joy to work with. She made wedding planning (260+ guests, planned in 8 months - wow!) the best time for me and my fiance!!! We have recommended her to everyone - she knows everyone in Wilmington and they all rave about her too! I am so grateful I got to work with her and that she was able to make my wedding the best night of my life.
